    Gareth Bale is set to make his first appearance since November after Zinedine Zidane announced the Wales international will be in the Real Madrid squad to face Espanyol this weekend. 

    The 27-year-old has been sidelined since undergoing surgery on the ankle tendon damage he suffered during a Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon almost three months ago.

    Should Wenger stay or go?published at 12:59 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2017

    #bbcsportsday

    Fergus O'Sullivan: Media is so anti-Arsenal... United spend nearly £1bn in three seasons and struggle year after year but all you hear is 'Oh Mourinho, such a good manager'

    Jon Bell:  He'll be off. Think he knows it's time, not because he's a bad manager, he's a top manager. Just stuff like tired of the fans and with the team not improving.

    Neil Wiles: Wenger is the best in the Prem. He been there the longest also. I think it's parthetic how he is being treated atm....Man U fan here but have full respect for the Arsenal manager.

    Former England batsman Peter Richardson has died at the age of 85. He played 34 Tests and also represented Kent and Worcestershire. Richardson is also known for scoring one of the most forgotten Test hundreds. The left-hander made 104 at Old Trafford in the Ashes Test of 1956, the match where Jim Laker claimed a world record 19 wickets.

    Burnley v Lincoln (Saturday, 12:30 GMT)

    And talking of that fifth round lunchtime FA Cup tie, more from Burnley boss Sean Dyche on his non-league opponents Lincoln, who are three points clear at the top of the National League. "They are full of energy, will and desire - all the things good teams are made of. So we've got to make sure we certainly match that and show our quality. 

    "We've made the players prepare properly, they've had the detail and focus needed. You take all that into the game and there's still no guarantees, you have to deliver."

    Remember Paul the Octopus from the 2010 World Cup, who sadly left us in October 2010?

    He used to regularly predict the correct score by using his skill and judgement and now students at the University of Lincoln have unveiled Larry the Legless Lizard, who looks a little like a snake. (Snake news not fake news?)

    Anyhow, no matter. Larry is predicting that Lincoln beat Burnley. He does not give a scoreline or goalscorer though.

    Diego Costa rarely seems like a good natured sort of a guy whenever I see him, but the Chelsea striker displays a lighter side during training this morning. I suppose they are eight points clear at the top of the table.

    England's open training session in the Twickenham sunshine is being enjoyed by 12,000 supporters, as well as the RFU Patron, Prince Harry.

    His Royal Highness - a keen rugby fan - has been in discussion with the England team manager Richard Hill as well as top referee Wayne Barnes, and had the best view in the house for scrum practice.

    England trained at a high intensity, in a 15 v 15 match situation. Wing Anthony Watson was not involved as he worked with the strength and conditioning coaches, and looked sharp after returning from injury.

    The second run of the men's giant slalom at the World Ski Championships, was delayed after a military plane on an exhibition fly-by clipped a cable, causing a camera to drop onto the course. The eye-in-the-sky camera fell some 50 metres to ground, landing in the finish area of the Corviglia course in St Moritz.

    Keane surprised by Pogba brotherly bonhomiepublished at 11:45 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2017

    Football

    No-nonsense former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane, perhaps not surprisingly, was not of a similar view to Pogba when he spoke as a pundit for ITV in last night's match at Old Trafford.

    "The boy, Pogba, he's a bit of a free spirit, a bit of a character," Keane said, "But I think it was a little bit over the top tonight - before the game and at half-time. They spoke more than I have to any of my brothers in the last five years, so it's all a bit strange."

    World record signing Paul Pogba savoured playing against his brother Florentin in Manchester United's 3-0 Europa League win over Saint-Etienne at Old Trafford. 

    "It was something magic playing against my brother," he said. "I just couldn't believe it when I saw him. We just started laughing and said let's enjoy the moment because it doesn't happen every day. I enjoyed it a lot.

    "I wanted to score but I hit the crossbar," the United midfielder added. "I don't know what is going on here but something is going wrong for me. So far I have been hitting the crossbar a lot. "In seven or eight months at United I think I have hit it more times than I did in four years at Juventus."
